March 15, 2005: Obtained plant (Purchased two 'saplings' from local Wildflower Association/club at Lincoln Memorial Gardens, Springfield, Il. ) March 19, 2012 - April 15, 2012: Bloomed (End blooming date is an approximation based on photo records. Waited 7 years for blooming to happen.) August 24, 2012 - September 9, 2012: Fruit Ripened (Took 7 years to flower, fruit, and partake.) August 28, 2012: Harvested (Taste is assuredly different. Custard consistency exotic/banana, melon similarities.
For home grown, not bad, not bad at all...) May 2, 2013: Bloomed (Date based on personal photo record.) September 23, 2014: Fruit Ripened (1st fruit fall ... signal of edibility)
